ASIA & THE PACIFIC
Ancient, Extraordinary,
Endlessly Surprising.
Japan to the Maldives — Asia designed for the traveler who wants to experience it properly.
Asia doesn’t reward the hurried traveler. It rewards the one who slows down, goes deeper, and trusts the person who has done the work to get the details right. The ryokan in Kyoto that doesn’t take walk-ins. The temple in Bagan at sunrise before the tour groups arrive. The resort in the Maldives where the house reef is actually extraordinary. The tea plantation bungalow in Sri Lanka’s hill country that most travelers drive past without knowing it exists. We’ve spent years building the relationships and first-hand knowledge that make these moments possible for our clients.
WHY TRAVEL ASIA WITH TDC
Asia Is the Most Rewarding Region in the World to Get Right.
No region demands more from a travel advisor — or rewards great planning more generously.
The difference between a generic Southeast Asia itinerary and an extraordinary one comes down entirely to knowing which properties deliver on their promise, which guides actually know their subject, which seasons to avoid and which to specifically chase, and how to combine destinations in a way that builds rather than exhausts.
We specialize in Thailand and have deep first-hand knowledge across Southeast Asia. Our relationships with the Four Seasons portfolio across Thailand and the Maldives, Rosewood and Capella properties, and specialist operators across Japan and Sri Lanka mean our clients don’t just visit Asia — they experience it at its absolute best.
From a first trip to Japan to a multi-country Southeast Asia journey to a Maldives escape that genuinely delivers on the overwater villa promise — we design Asia the way it deserves to be experienced.
✦ First-hand expertise in Thailand across Bangkok, Phuket, Krabi, Koh Samui, and Phi Phi Islands
✦ Preferred relationships with Four Seasons, Rosewood, Capella, Anantara, and Park Hyatt across Asia and the Maldives
✦ Multi-destination Asia itineraries combining culture, nature, and extraordinary luxury properties

FEATURED PROPERTIES
Properties We Know Firsthand — Vetted, Loved, and Recommended Without Reservation.
Kimpton Ma Lai Bangkok
Bangkok, Thailand
The finest hotel opening Bangkok has seen in years. Rooftop pool with a skyline view that stops people mid-sentence, rooms that feel genuinely residential, and a food and beverage program that rivals the city’s best standalone restaurants. The right base for experiencing Bangkok properly — design-forward, exceptionally well-located, and a step above the standard luxury offering in the city.
✦ Signature Preferred Partner
Keemala, Phuket
Phuket, Thailand
Nestled into the jungle above Kamala Beach — a collection of pool villas and tented camps that feel genuinely unlike anything else in Thailand. The treehouse pool villas sit above the jungle canopy with complete privacy. Pair with a Krabi or Phi Phi island experience for a Phuket itinerary that goes well beyond the beach.
✦ Signature Preferred Partner
Four Seasons Resort Chiang Mai
Chiang Mai, Thailand
Set among rice paddies in the Mae Rim Valley — one of the most serene and beautifully designed properties in all of Southeast Asia. The contrast between Chiang Mai’s spiritual north and the energy of Bangkok makes this pairing one of our most consistently praised Thailand itineraries.
✦ Signature Preferred Partner
Capella Ubud, Bali
UBUD, BALI · SIGNATURE PREFERRED
Forty tent pavilions suspended above the Wos River jungle — an architectural achievement that sits in complete harmony with its surroundings. Ubud is where Bali makes sense, and Capella is the finest address in the valley. ✦ Signature Preferred Partner
Anantara Peace Haven, Sri Lanka
TANGALLE, SRI LANKA · SIGNATURE PREFERRED
On a dramatic headland above the Indian Ocean on Sri Lanka’s southern coast. Cliff-top infinity pools, direct beach access, and proximity to Yala National Park. Pair with a cultural circuit through Sigiriya and Kandy for the complete country experience. ✦ Signature Preferred Partner
Park Hyatt Maldives Hadahaa
GAAFU ALIFU ATOLL, MALDIVES · SIGNATURE PREFERRED
In one of the most remote and pristine atolls in the Maldives — the house reef here is genuinely extraordinary. The distance from Malé means fewer guests and more untouched marine life. For the traveler who wants the Maldives experience to actually deliver — this is the property. ✦ Signature Preferred Partner

Why Thailand Should Be Your Next Asia Journey
The difference between a Maldives trip that delivers and one that disappoints comes down to three things: the atoll, the house reef, and the timing. Here is the honest breakdown.
